Well, in his defense, he was right.....sort of...
How often do you see spam in a newsgroup? And how often do you follow a
link in a spam to check it out? I sure as heck don't.
The ONLY reason I followed it to check it out was because Suzanne posted
it. If if would have been non-Lego, I was prepared to flame the hell out
of her.
If it were anyone else (even Larry or Mike) except Suzanee or Todd, I would
have never followed the link.
I think Suzanne's wording could have been a bit better to note to people
that it WAS Lego related. Nothing in the original post said so.
